There are certain steps followed by a web crawler that we have mentioned here.
The first thing done by the crawlers is to prepare the list of URLs to visit, following which it downloads the web pages that are linked to these URLs.
The crawlers analyze the content of the page that has been downloaded and identifies and extracts new URLs.
New URLs are added to the list and then the procedure keeps on continuing.
